At the ISE 2015 show in Amsterdam, Listen Technologies (stand 3-C89) has expanded its iDSP (Intelligent Digital Signal Processing) assistive listening offerings with a new IR (infrared) version, joining the previously introduced iDSP RF 72 MHz receivers (LR-4200-072 Intelligent DSP RF receiver and LR-5200-072 Advanced Intelligent DSP RF receiver).
The new iDSP IR receiver offers precise clarity with a stated 20 dB less hiss than comparable products. The integrated neck loop/lanyard improves the experience for people who have hearing aids and cochlear implants with telecoils.
iDSP IR receivers are very small, making them easier for venues to store, charge, and distribute; it also makes it easier for end users to wear and operate. Additionally, iDSP IR receivers use the same battery technology as a smartphone, eliminating the cost and hassle of traditional AA alkaline batteries.
iDSP IR is easy to care for, store and distribute. Additionally, since the iDSP IR receiver comes with an integrated neck loop/lanyard (making it compliant with the legislative requirement to provide neck loops for hearing aids with telecoils), the complication and guesswork are taken out of achieving legislative compliance.
In addition, the iDSP IR is easy for end users to check out from venues and it’s also easy to operate and wear. The integrated neck loop/lanyard provides a similar function as an installed hearing loop, without the loop, for users who have telecoils. Also, iDSP IR receivers can be programmed with unique display names, like theater, chapel, classroom or more.
System components include the charging tray, which can be mounted in several ways; charging case; optional cable management system; earphones (with leatherette cushions, or hard plastic, solving certain sanitary issues); log book; free setup/inventory software; and signage.
